Hope he youtube's it
The Army is all about tradition
Is it? Oh, cos I thought it was all about fighting and stuff.
Silly me! 😀

You can do so much better than this. Really.
You can do so much better than this. Really.
Actually, when you look closely, this is about as good as it gets.
You can do so much better than this. Really.
You're right, I can.
You can't though. 😉
TtC: Outdated pointless 'tradition' much like most aspects of the Monarchy. Doesn't serve society in any positive way, keeping hold of it. Time to get rid. No need to waste money on fancy uniforms and crap when soldiers in the field can't even get kit that works properly....

You hate our British Way of Life and traditions, dontcha Elfin ?........with your foreign ways 😐
i don't live in london so, like most national events, it doesn't concern me.

As normal i will ignore the op comments as he loves the attention however state occasions such as trooping remain the envy of every other nation, even the usa cannot match the quality, precision, dignity and humility of a British State occasion and they have tried.Long may they continue.
I thought it was ace and so did my two boys. Stirring music, pageantry, colour, the Queen, Kate, bearskins, red tunics etc. Hats off to each and every one for a brilliant spectacle that two little boys and one grown up thoroughly enjoyed 🙂

I was expecting a fair bit of nonsense in response to this thread, but this exceeds my expectations...

Sez a mayn from Croydon!
You're practically French...

The Edinburgh defense still lives.

Cheeky git - I am French.
.......only came over here 'cause I loves the Royal Family.

I love you Ernie....
You doing another ride down your way soon then? I'm, thinking of a Capital Ring in a day ride. 78 miles, flat. Fancy it?
Far more enjoyable to watch then those shite celebrities get me out of shite or X-factor Shite or Britain got talented shite or Camelot shite on channel 4 ... generally better than so many shite out there.
But most importantly they cannot compare to Dear Leaders ... like this ... suckeerrrsss!
[b]Bow down you maggots! Dear Leaders step on you.[/b]

Some people like a connection to the past and perhaps where they come from. Perhaps you don't celebrate any festivals, religious occasions, high days or holiday. Many people do and some of them like that they came from some time that was before their own. If your way was undertaken, we'd have little in the way of culture, history or a sense of where we as a nation came from - quite bereft of many interesting things. Your comments on military equipment are slightly dated to say the least.
Cheeky git - I am French.
Thought you were born and raised in Argentina, or was that just raised?
Amazing, Chewkw! Should I admire China and North Korea then? Cos they've got really impressive military parades...

I was talking about scrapping the TtC, not destroying [i]all[/i] culture. Typical over-reaction from the hard of thinking... 🙄
Such 'traditional' military parades are little more than an attempt to gloss over the reality of war. Shiny buttons not mud, blood and guts.
Why not have all those heroes who've lost limbs etc, in the parade? Y'know, those brave people who've sacrificed their mobility for Queen and Country?
Or maybe they'd look a bit 'unsightly', and scare the tourists?

Born in France, spent part of my childhood in France & Argentina - most in Sarf Landen.

Going out now - I'll get back to you.
Vale.
Many injured troops attend All state functions fred, the rememberence parade is for that reason. Fred, do some military service then comment about it, please do not assume anything about what you have no knowledge of, humility and respect not negativity and ignorance please.

No, no ... they are meant to put maggots in their place. Crush them like jelly. Let their guts spill out like strawberry jam.

They have all happily retired and shall never be forgotten ... in the meantime the able bodied will step on those maggots.

Nothing "unsightly" of but able bodied is better at stepping on those maggots.
Elfinsafety - MemberAmazing, Chewkw! Should I admire China and North Korea then? Cos they've got really impressive military parades..
You should bow down then lay your body to be stepped on. All those who wish to gain independence from Dear Leader should be crushed like jelly ... nuking is better.
😈
Your logic did not appear to be specific to this - more a broadside against anything you did not give value to:
Outdated pointless 'tradition' much like most aspects of the Monarchy. Doesn't serve society in any positive way, keeping hold of it. Time to get rid.
If you don't mean to be so generic, don't write such open statements.
Such 'traditional' military parades are little more than an attempt to gloss over the reality of war.
No they are not. They are parades with meaning that goes way back - your lack of knowledge gives rise to your bombastic statements.

It is not and never was a military reenactment - it is a parade. It is part of the military tradition. Other parades are available etc.
Fred, do some military service
No thanks. I'm a bit old now anyway. Don't think they'd have me. 😀
You speak of 'humility' in reference to the Monarchy? I suggest you go find out what the word actually means.
And you call [i]me[/i] 'ignorant'?
No they are not. They are parades with meaning that goes way back - your lack of knowledge gives rise to your bombastic statements.
Trooping regimental colours was something done so's certain regiments could be recognised on a battlefield. No longer necessary as we have clever technology and that now. So, TtC is completely redundant.
Today's military doesn't fight in fancy uniforms with swords, does it? So, get rid. No need to continue wasting money. And don't compare military parades with Culture please. Thanks.

didn't know that China had militarised cabin girls
FoxyChick - Memberchewkw...what the bloody hell are you posting about?
It's futile to ask, even he doesn't know. Still at least he's not Woppit, he knows exactly what he's saying and still does it, chewkw's only like this because he got a railway spike through his brain *
(* or somesuch)
Fred you must be unhappy with All the uk has to offer, maybe you would prefer to reside in syria or libya for example they would give you something to moan about and you would achieve the attention you crave.

D'oh! Should sound like this instead " ... able-bodied is better at stepping on those maggots enemies and all those that opposed to be stepped on". My apology to all those injured heroes who have been / were wounded/killed by the maggots.
brakes - Memberdidn't know that China had militarised cabin girls
Yes, nice looking "cabin" girls ... good. Maggots to be stepped on by "cabin" girls. Maggots better lick those boots clean and say thank you.

i personally enjoyed chewy's post more than any others on here.
Chewkw's posts make more sense than any others on here...
chewkw...now I understand.

Insect maggots[/b] = Good, respect, love them as they clean up the world. OOhhh ... look at them wiggling around in their thousands ... ooohhh ... 😛
[b]Maggots the human form[/b] = to be stepped on, nuked, as fertiliser, spare parts, waste of space ... they are infestation and parasitic. Step on them. 👿
Well they have to do something to make London worth visiting.
it takes a bit more than a bit of flag waving to get me to visit the place
Elfin, today you jumped the shark, you let Woppit out manoeurve you and everyone saw it.
Yeah, but you are a bit spoiled, living in That Bratfud, JD! 😀
I know 🙂 fabulous countryside within riding distance of the city centre.
And if we need to do any shopping, there's always that Leeds 😉
Bring forth Madame La Guillotine....
No Pliers, no Golf Clubs, so definitely no ****ing guillotines..... 😐
Elfin, today you jumped the shark, you let Woppit out manoeurve you and everyone saw it.
Erm, Woppit had to resort to insulting me. I'm not really sure how that constitutes being 'out manoeuvred'. 🙄
S'ok though; Woppit's showed his true bigoted narrow-minded prejudiced self. Can't say I'm surprised really, considering his cowardice.
Useful to know you share a similar mentality.
there's always that Leeds
Sorry, but Leeds isn't significant enough to qualify for 'That' status I'm afraid. 😐
Is possible I maybe come Bradford this summer.....
[i]Sorry, but Leeds isn't significant enough to qualify for 'That' status I'm afraid[/i]
it is from where I'm standing 😉 don't you know your James Herriott?
hey, it has shops. and arcades. and no holes in the ground
Useful to know you share a similar mentality.
That's your assumption. It doesn't matter to me. He out manoeuvred you before you started insulting him. Just how did he insult you?
Other than to try to get a rise out of me, what's your point in posting on here?
here we go

Sorry JD, but Leeds has some way to go before it qualifies for a 'That' prefix. There are only a select elite group of places in the UK which do qualify, and Leeds ain't one of 'em.
James Herriot had his arm up a cah's bum half the time. So not an authority on things cultural like my good self...
It's ok Trailmonkey; I'm sure JD will come round to my way of thinking eventually! 😀
Other than to try to get a rise out of me, what's your point in posting on here?
Not trying to get a rise out of you, Woppit already did that.My point is to increase your self-awareness and to mark the end of the Elfin who was. You'll notice I haven't been involved in your increasingly feeble exchanges recently. But in this one you crossed a line which i think will be hard for you to recover from. I thought I'd point it out. Have made those points explicit, I'll just wait till you answer my question.
Cheers
😉
